hunting for a man who broke into a woman's apartment. she saw him. she screamed and he ran away. we'll tell you what police are saying next. >> and engineers say our bay area infrastructure our pipes, our storm drains can't keep up with the weather, but the city can't afford to pay. how lawmakers plan to pay. >> we better hope they can. storm 2 is on the way. we're waiting for heavy rain. when will it move ashore? we'll talk about that coming up. >> and an injury accident traffic alert still up in napa. all your traffic hot spots coming up. good morning, everyone. it's thursday, november 29. i'm michelle griego. >> hi, everybody. i'm frank mallicoat. it is 5:01 now. we are following some developing news down in palo alto. that's where a masked man broke in an apartment and woke up a woman inside. >> cbs 5 reporter anne makovec is on the scene where k-9 dogs are helping with the search. >> reporter: they so far have not found this guy. in happened here at this -- it happened here at this apartment complex at high and a thorn in

palo alto at 2:20 a.m. -- hawthorne in palo alto at 2:20 a.m. a woman found a man in her apartment, she screamed and he ran way. she lived on the ground floor of the building in downtown palo alto. police aren't saying how the man got in. police blocked off the neighborhood and sent dogs to search for him. no luck. so they have since opened the streets back up, called the dogs and are interviewing the woman right now. >> at this point in time, she is safe and unharmed. she is with detectives and they are conducting interviews and the investigation is ongoing. >> reporter: we don't know how get to in, whether he took in or whether he may have sexually assaulted the woman. a lot of unanswered questions. this guy is on the loose presumably here in palo alto.

anne makovec, cbs 5. >> thank you. round 1 wasn't so bad. the worst is yet to come. more wet windy weather is bearing down on the bay area and we have team coverage this morning with cbs 5 reporter cate caugiran. she is down at daly city. first we kick it off with meteorologist lawrence karnow in the cbs 5 weather center for more rain i guess, huh? >> yeah. boy that, first storm kicked down the door. this next storm system will roll through and it's going to bring with it heavy rain. this next storm though different. it's a slow moving storm and because of that, it's going to be able to drop a tremendous amount of rain. right now, we are seeing a few light showers out ahead of the system. mostly from the warm front. you can see some of that falling in the north bay now near novato, along one. watch out there. we are going to see some of the pop-up showers throughout the morning especially in the north bay but then that's going to start to sag further south in the afternoon. but again, this is a slow- moving storm so it will take some time to get here. here it is still well to the north of the bay area. there's another one that's developing behind that. this is all going to begin to

move onshore in the latter part of the day. lots of clouds and scattered light shower and toward the afternoon showers pick up in the south bay we'll see showers beginning to move in. into the evening hours it starts to sag to the south slowly and overnight pushing through. tomorrow morning could be wet and wild commute. looks like stormy weather maybe as much as 6" of rain in the wettest spots. of course that could cause flooding. we'll have more on the weather coming up. back to you. >> the first round of the storm was strongest in the north bay with as much as 2" of bay in parts of marin county. pg&e crews restored electric service after high winds blew down power lines. down in the peninsula saratoga and pacifica were hit hard by power outages. tahoe got rain and snow yesterday. you can see some of the borders out there. when the next two storms are gone, ski resorts at lake level

and above could have several new feet of snowmaking very many people happy. >> we love that. 5:04. our aging infrastructure is put to the test whenever we get a lot of rain. cbs 5 reporter cate caugiran is in daly city in the neighborhood that was recently hit by a river of mud from that broken pipe and joins us live with more. >> reporter: daly city is one example of how cities can't afford to keep up with the old infrastructure. now civil injuries are saying basically we should prepare for more natural catastrophes here in the bay area. poor welds and lack of inspecial caused the explosion an incineration of a san bruno neighborhood years ago. putting off maintenance is not an option but they can't afford to do it. we are told more aging pipes

could be in the area. injuries didn't look favorably on the infrastructure. the grade they gave for urban stormwater and flood control was a low d. in order to keep up, the bay area needs to spend nearly $3 billion. lawmakers say raising taxes is controversial but it's the best option. they voted in berkeley to pay higher property taxes to fix roads and other problems in the infrastructure. so engineers say at this point it could be a cautionary tale. pay up now or pay more down the road. cate caugiran, cbs 5. >> thank you. >> go to cbssf.com/weather to

see hi-def doppler in your own neighborhood. 5:06. let's check the roads. >> it's dry for now. yesterday we had so many accidents with the rain and wind. for right now the camera holding steady. 880 through oakland no major wind advisories this morning. we did have an accident northbound 880 at high street. it is now clear. so quick trip all the way up between the oakland coliseum and downtown. otherwise the golden gate bridge doing lane changes now so in the meantime you will notice closures in that southbound one commute towards doyle drive. highway 121 at 128 the northbound lane of 121 is block. they are working to clear it now. the accident has been there since 3:30 this morning. and in san francisco, the great highway remains closed for sand removal after the storms, from lincoln to sloat boulevard. so heads up if your commute takes you there. coming up a check of mass transit. in the meantime, back to you guys. >> thank you. family and friends want to make sure an at risk teen from

oakland is safe. that's after she went missing more than 48 hours ago. officers say cheyenne white suffers severe autism. the 16 earlier has the mental capacity of a 9 -- the 16-year- old has the men capacity of a 9- year-old. she walked away from the finch youth center in oakland. she was last seen near the fruitvale bart station. 5:07. investigators hope witnesses will come forward with tips to solve the murder of two teenaged girls in east oakland. 16-year-old bonnie sartain of oakland and 15-year-old raquel bristol of san leandro were shot several times early sunday morning as they walked along minna avenue near brookdale park. sartain's mother says her daughter told her earlier they were having a sleepover. today she has a message for parents. >> i wonder why she lied to me. i wonder why it got so out of control that they had to shoot my daughter and her friend. that's not going to do any good now the. not going to bring them back. not going to do any good now.

if you have children out there, be straight, know where they're at. >> a family friend told cbs 5 some people who live near the shooting scene tried to comfort the dying teens until emergency crews arrived. the two girls had been good friends for about 8 years. time now 5:08. palestine's status upgrade? the controversial vote headed to the united nations. we'll have the latest. >> plus, call them the uncommon champions. why this fremont high school football team is getting national attention. >> a holiday tradition is back. how many lights does it take to make this street by if the big apple? coming up. ,,,,,,,,

you're good to go all across the upper deck. let's go to our maps. we still have this traffic alert. it's been in effect since 3:30 this morning. injury accident napa county. highway 121 at highway 128 the northbound lane of 121 remains block. we just checked in with chp to see if there's a new estimated time when they will reopen the stretch but in the meantime it's still blocked. in san francisco, the great highway is shut down closed for that sand removal after yesterday's storm from lincoln to sloat boulevard. so you have to find an alternate there. otherwise, westbound 580 drive there's a look at traffic through the altamont pass and you can notice a little bit of changing color on our sensors but not too bad as you approach vasco road towards livermore and then we showed you that live look earlier near the dublin interchange. drive time still all in the clear coming down the eastshore freeway. the nimitz an earlier accident on high street cleared and

westbound 24 out of walnut creek. that's a check of your "timesaver traffic." i know lawrence is bracing for round 2 beginning tonight. >> i think later today we'll see the rain pick up but this is the time to prepare as we'll see some heavy rainfall headed toward the bay area. right now, our hi-def doppler picking up on scattered showers the main focus has been in the north bay. skies staying mostly cloudy this morning but you see along 101 there be careful if you are driving in that direction. we have seen some pop-up showers there and more to come throughout the day. they will probably begin to slide a little further to the south as we head toward the afternoon. storm 2 is on approach with a cloudy start to the day. rain on and off it will be breezy and then that storm system moves in especially overnight tonight and early tomorrow morning. here it is. just putting it self together here still has a long way to go. we are seeing a lot of clouds in front of this. that warm front is bringing

light showers with it. once it comes onshore wet through the weekend. scattered showers in the north bay, this afternoon things pick up and then heavier rainfall begins to move in overnight tonight and it looks like into tomorrow morning this is a very slow-moving storm. so we are looking at tremendous amounts of rain. then it breaks off to showers tomorrow then a couple of little impulses move in saturday and sunday. we could see upwards of 6" of rain in the north bay also into the santa cruz mountains. we could see some localized flooding some of the creeks and local streams. i think the main rivers stay within their banks. with all the rain here lots of snow in the sierra nevada. lake forecast only has one to fleet of snow across the higher peaks. i think we could see more than that. just a whole lot of water coming. but the basin staying base at 7,000 feet and above. series of storms rolling through and then a break monday

search for the guy. no luck so they opened the streets up. they won't say how they got into the apartment or whether they took anything. we'll hear more around 7 a.m. the only description they have on the perpetrator is a male with dark clothing so not a good description. we'll see if they come up with more later. round one of the storms came and went and now we have round 2 on the way. we have team coverage, cbs 5 reporter cate caugiran is down in daly city but we start with lawrence karnow in the weather center. >> guys, this is going to be a different store than the one that just moved through. that was a fast-moving storm system. this one is going to be a lot

slower and because of that, had a potential to drop a lot more rainfall. let's check the high-def doppler radar. we are still seeing scattered showers to begin the morning. most of that located in the north bay. that may change. pop-up showers on one. scattered light activity now. we'll see the rain sagging further to the south. then toward tonight heavy rainfall is expected. warm front followed boy a cold front. rain will pick up, breezy conditions throughout the day today, a lot of cloud out there now. showers more numerous and further to the south. main cold front located well to the north. we could get 6" of rain in the

north bay, localized flooding in streams and creeks but not rivers. severe storm heading our way overnight in toward tomorrow morning. that's the latest. >> thank you. the north bay had as much as 2" of rain in parts of marin county. pg&e crews were busy restoring power after power lines blew down. pacifica had 1200 homes and businesses without power for part of yesterday. >> we are the first guys to get the wind off the ocean. so usually it's a little more gusty than maybe over the hill or even in san francisco. we are like the front line as far as that's concerned. >> sfo had its usual problems that come with stormy weather. there were delays up to 3 hours and dozens of incoming and outgoing flights all had to be canceled. meanwhile, up in the sierra it was not cold enough for snow at lake tahoe. not that cold up there this

morning, either. but they got a mix of rain and snow yesterday. it will get colder and several feet of snow could fall at lake level and higher by the end of the week. all this stormy weather is causing concerns about the aging infrastructure in the bay area. cbs 5 reporter cate caugiran is in daly city in a neighborhood reese isn'tly hit by a river of -- recently hit by a river of mud from a pipe that fell apart that crews are still cleaning up. >> reporter: we learned the city spent close to half a million dollars just trying to replace soil and vegetation in the area after that landslide and city leaders say there could be more older pipes in the area but the reality is for most cities, the money to do the work is just not there. as we have seen in the past, aging pipes and storm drains are pushed past their limits and causing devastating damage

and deadly accidents. the american society of civil engineers says putting off maintenance work is not an option. it's a cautionary tale for the entire bay area. pay for the work now or pay up to 10 tames more later. now, engineers grade the bay area's roads, urban stormwater and flood control at desperately low d. the bay area needs to spend nearly $3 billion a year to maintain the infrastructure. >> pipelines that were designed to be in the ground for 30 years are now in the ground for 100 years. we are expecting the materials that were supposed to last 30 years it last 100 to 120 years. it's because we're not replacing these systems. >> now, as you said, michelle, two weeks ago this neighborhood was covered in mud after an aging pipe cracked and is an example of how cities don't have the money to repair or replace their systems. lawmakers know raising taxes is controversial but state senator-

elect jerry hill says he believes that's the best if not long term option for this area. that's just again one option for footing the bill and we're reporting live in daly city. cate caugiran, cbs 5. remember, you can get live hi-def doppler radar for your neighborhood anytime and find information on sandbag location at cbssf.com/weather. yesterday traffic was a mess at this time. and last time we checked in with liz, 15 minutes ago, easy breezy i think you said. >> we still have a traffic alert up in napa but that's been there since about 3:30 we haven't seen anything new on the roads since we have been on the air at 4:30. it's dry outside and we'll enjoy the dry morning commute while we have it because we are going to have a wet friday morning commute. right now good to go across the san mateo bridge. this is a traffic alert we were talking about up in napa county. 12 blocked. the northbound lane approaching highway 128. that was an injury crash so again we still don't know when

[ laughter ] >> would you? >> yeah. >> it's busy. it's only going to get busier as the day goes on as we see the rain picking outside. right now high-def doppler radar showing you just some scattered showers at this time. most of that located in the north bay. skies are mostly cloudy but we have seen a train of moisture sliding in across the north bay right now so if you head up along the 101 you may run in that briefly but it looks like things are going to begin to change in the latter part of the day. maybe showers beginning to slide a little further to the south. so a cloudy start a few showers in the north bay off and on again rain especially toward the afternoon breezy all day long and then storm number 2 moves in later on tonight. we're talking about very heavy rainfall. here it is. the storm located to the north we are seeing a lot of warm frontal clouds ahead of the system bringing us light showers right now in the north bay. once it moves onshore it's
